"Our first time trying this chain new to our state, and my husband and I were blown away. A Monday early afternoon was well staffed, self-order kiosks that are updated to reflect supply, very clean (including bathrooms) and has a chill modern atmosphere. Vegetarian options and dairy-free shakes as well. We ordered the Shack Stack, ShackBurger with bacon and onions, Hot Chicken sandwich, spicy fries and Oreo funnel cake shake. The Shack Stack was excellent, but don’t expect it to be like a mushroom Swiss. It’s very unique, and the portobello was fried beautifully with a lovely cheese pull. It’s a very good non-traditional burger. The ShackBurger was delicious with beautiful caramelization on the beef which was cooked to a perfect medium. I usually forget to take photos before digging in, but this burger was too pristine to rush into. It’s the burger on the billboard ads, but nobody sat on this one. All the food was like this, but this is the only picture I took. The Hot Chicken sandwich was another level of chicken sandwich. Crispy, juicy, well seasoned fried chicken breast with flavorful toppings had us almost fighting over it although we ordered it to share. The spicy fries were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside with truly spicy seasoning. The fries with more seasoning are nicely tamed with ranch and ketchup complemented the less spiced ones. Finally, the shake was not your average fast food shake. Tasted like real chocolate ice cream, not chocolate syrup, and was very creamy and delicious and somehow didn’t feel as heavy as most shakes I’ve had. We will definitely return to try more menu items and especially to try the dragonfruit lemonade they were out of. The ultimate test of fast food is always its consistency, so I truly hope I won’t need to edit this review."

"The burgers here are spectacular. They're of the smashed variety and with higher fat content. Beefy and juicy. Well-seasoned. High quality buns, lettuce, tomato, good American cheese and a tasty special sauce. You can't do better for the price, IMHO. I'm glad they're not fashionably colossal and stupidly over-stuffed. They're easy to eat, Yay. A single patty with fries are more than enough food to make me completely full. If that's not you, double patties are an option. I had the regular Shack Burger, regular Fries and a specialty drink, the Lime Agave Lemonade. Fries were crispy and tasty but the drink was unpleasantly weird. To mimic a Margarita drink without alcohol they add a lot of salt and a whiff of jalapeno. Totally not something I enjoyed but that's a matter of taste. It really needs Tequila to work. I'll def try their regular lemonade or a milkshake next time. It's a spacious and attractive place set in a very pretty shopping mall called One Paseo. Staff was friendly and efficient though the tables could have been cleaned a little more frequently. There are lots of outdoor seating spaces scattered about One Paseo and Shake Shack has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating within their own establishment. One minor complaint: no posted menu on premises. You need to order from a station or online to see offerings and prices. Slightly precious. Convenient free parking is available in multiple garage buildings. It's a real pleasure to visit and even more so when you savor one of the most delicious burgers anywhere around."
